Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I feel like "resigning from your office" shouldn't be a way to keep forever sealed the results of investigations that have already happened.
Well I know someone who shut down over 90(?) felony charges simply by running for election. And succeeding, apparently. Apparently heads of state and president elects are all immune to the justice system.
I'm sure the people who were big mad that Hillary Clinton may have violated company policy but didn't break any laws will be equally outraged at this.
"Boss, you're not allowed to report me for stealing in the workplace, because I quit"
You can't arrest me, I'm a sovereign citizen!
You're not a US citizen? Deported.
Don't give them ideas. Magats are gonna murder some minorities then renounce citizenship and not have to go to prison.
Non-citizens can still go to prison, especially if there is nowhere to deport them to.
Ex-house members are supposed to still be under the jusdiction of the law. But here we are... 🤷♂️
This might be a silver lining to the madman's mass deportations. Sov cits might get swept up too, and can you imagine how pissed they'd be stuck in camps with brown people?
Taxpayer money was used to create that report. If they don't release it, then it's just a waste of taxpayer money.
Unless it is classified, should it not fall under FOIA?
